Few months ago I asked on Twitter “why you think Java is complex?” to understand others perspective.

First of all, Wish you a very happy new year and I hope this year will bring more joy and happiness into your lives.

I would like to share how was 2022 for me and what my plans are for 2023.

Spring Framework 6 implemented the Problem Details for HTTP APIs specification, RFC 7807. In this article we will learn how to handle exceptions in SpringBoot 3 REST API(which uses Spring Framework 6) and provide error responses using ProblemDetails API.

Records were introduced in Java 14 as a preview feature and became a standard feature with JDK 16. Records are a concise representation of immutable data class.

TLDR;

I am happy to announce that I am going to create “SpringBoot Tips Video Series” on my SivaLabs YouTube Channel. This “SpringBoot Tips Series” is to help people who are new to SpringBoot to learn how to use SpringBoot with a keen focus on understanding how it works behind the scenes.

I work as an Architect/TechLead/SeniorDeveloper depending on client engagement. And, Java is the primary programming language that I have used most of my career. In recent years I got an opportunity to work with Go, NodeJS and .Net Core technologies too. I find Java, especially with SpringBoot, a solid platform to build enterprise grade applications.

Java is and has been the primary programming language I have used throughout my career. If I want to build something quick for a prototype or if I need to pick the tech stack with a tight deadline then Java is my first choice. Especially after Java 8 it becomes more and more feature rich and powerful.

In the previous article Kubernetes - Blue/Green Deployments we have learned how to release a new version of application using Blue/Green Deployments strategy.

In the previous article Kubernetes - Releasing a new version of the application using Deployment Rolling Updates we have learned how to release a new version of application using Deployment Rolling Updates and how to use Readiness and Liveness probes to route traffic to only fully initialized containers.

In the previous article Getting Started with Kubernetes we have learned how to deploy a SpringBoot application on Kubernetes(Minikube) using Deployment and Service primitives. We also looked at how to access our application using NodePort on Minikube IP address.
